This enables users to find relevant results even if the term they are searching for appears only in the body text.

This information can then be reused in the search function or within the system. View \*note ](#c1000367) ­ \* Certain functions require additional extensions, further components or a project-specific implementation and are not included in the standard scope of EXT:solr alone. For site highlighting, EXT:solr merely handles the passing of the search term; the highlighting on the target page itself must be carried out by the project team. Searching within attachments is only available in conjunction with additional extensions such as solrfal and EXT:tika. Text and metadata extraction requires EXT:tika; for newer setups, such as those using TYPO3 v14 and Apache Solr 10, an additional component may also be required. ### Questions about Apache Solr for TYPO3 ### How can I use an Apache Solr index that is hosted by Hosted Solr in my TYPO3 installation? After creating the Solr index using the web interface, please click on the button *Tipps*. There, we provide a TypoScript snippet that you need to paste into your website's TypoScript template configuration. ### How do I configure the Hosted Solr cores via Site Configuration? When using Site Configuration and the appropriate EXT:solr version 10+, the core configuration must be done in Site Configuration. However, the data required for Hosted Solr cannot be stored via Site Management, but requires a manual adjustment of the yaml file. As mentioned in the [extension documentation](https://docs.typo3.org/p/apache-solr-for-typo3/solr/10.0/en-us/Backend/ConnectionManager.html), language-specific information can be stored there, e.g. via solr\_host\_read or solr\_core\_read. In excerpts the configuration in the yaml file could look like this: EXT:solr < 12.0 ``` languages: - title: German solr_host_read: node-x.hosted-solr.com solr_core_read: core_de solr_path_read: ##path##/solr/ solr_username_read: ##user_host_x## solr_password_read: ##password_host_x## - title: English solr_host_read: node-y.hosted-solr.com solr_core_read: core_en solr_path_read: ##path##/solr/ solr_username_read: ##user_host_y## solr_password_read: ##password_host_y## rootPageId: 1 solr_enabled_read: true solr_scheme_read: https solr_port_read: 443 solr_use_write_connection: false ``` **EXT:solr >= 12.0** ``` languages: - title: German solr_host_read: node-x.hosted-solr.com solr_core_read: core_de solr_path_read: /##path## solr_username_read: ##user_host_x## solr_password_read: ##password_host_x## - title: English solr_host_read: node-y.hosted-solr.com solr_core_read: core_en solr_path_read: /##path## solr_username_read: ##user_host_y## solr_password_read: ##password_host_y## rootPageId: 1 solr_enabled_read: true solr_scheme_read: https solr_port_read: 443 solr_use_write_connection: false ``` [Download a YAML example here](https://hosted-solr.com/fileadmin/Dateien/Downloads/example.yaml) The use of environment variables is also possible, see Using Environment Variables in Site Configuration in the EXT:solr documentation. Important: The yaml file should be protected from external access. ### SOLR\_ENABLE\_REMOTE\_STREAMING and Hosted Solr EXT:solr uses remote streaming, since Apache Solr 11.8.3 and 9.3.0 the use requires the setting of an environment variable. Hosted Solr cores support remote streaming and you can use all current EXT:solr versions. EXT:solr 11.5.6 and 12.0.2 check the current status in the Reports module to show users any problems. Hosted Solr cores do not yet support the status check, although remote streaming is activated. You can ignore the message "Error determining system properties", in future a new creation of the core will provide a remedy. Note on remote streaming, the use with EXT:solr and Hosted Solr is unproblematic, but with self-hosted Solr servers it must always be ensured that they are appropriately secured and not directly accessible to third parties ### Is direct access to the Solr Admin UI possible? For security reasons, access to the Solr Admin UI is restricted and not possible, but tools are available to perform core operations or check the index content. Via hosted-solr.com you can trigger the core reload, e.g. when using synonyms, this is possible for each core via ‘Admin’ => ‘Reload Solr core’, as well as the complete emptying of the core (‘Admin’ => ‘Empty Solr index’). In the case of TYPO3, it is possible to view the index content via the ‘Apache Solr’ > ‘Info’ > ‘Index Documents’ module. ### How does a core reload with Hosted Solr work? Core reloads are rarely necessary, but actions such as changes to synonyms or stop words require a reload. For security reasons, however, access to the Apache Solr admin module is restricted and a reload is therefore not possible via the TYPO3 backend. Of course, you can also trigger a core reload with Hosted Solr; this is possible with your Hosted Solr access at hosted-solr.com. You will find a corresponding option for each core under ‘Admin’ => ‘Reload Solr core’, as well as for completely emptying the core (‘Admin’ => ‘Empty Solr index’). ### Does EXT:tika work with Hosted Solr? In TYPO3 installations, EXT:tika allows metadata and text extraction from local files, which offers added value, especially in conjunction with the solrfal extension available via the dkd development contributions. Of course, Hosted Solr also supports metadata and text extraction, which is configured in EXT:tika via the ‘Solr Server’ service and the associated options. It is important to ensure that the access data is also specified during the connection configuration; this could look like this **EXT:solr < 12.0 & EXT:tika < 12.0** | General.extractor | Solr Server | |---|---| | Server.solrScheme | https | | Server.solrHost | \##user##:##pass##@##host## | | Server.solrPort | 443 | | Server.solrPath | /##user##/solr/##core## | ([Screenshot of a sample configuration](https://hosted-solr.com/fileadmin/Dateien/em-conf-tika-hosted-solr-example_solr_11.png)) **EXT:solr 12.0+ & EXT:tika 12.0.1+** | General.extractor | Solr Server | |---|---| | solr.solrScheme | https | | solr.solrHost | \##host## | | solr.solrPort | 443 | | solr.solrPath | /##user## | | solr.solrCore | \##core## | | solr.solrUsername | \##user## | | solr.solrPassword | \##pass## | ([Screenshot of a sample configuration](https://hosted-solr.com/fileadmin/Dateien/em-conf-tika-hosted-solr-example_solr_12.png)) ---
